Apple is making some big changes to emoji with the inclusion of racially diverse characters in iOS 8.3, but the company has been hiding an emoji secret under our fingertips for years.
A startling emoji discovery was made this week by Peter Miller, who realized that the poop emoji is almost identical to the ice cream cone emoji — minus the cone and plus a splash of color. On Android, the poop and ice cream icons are pretty different, but it looks like whoever created Apple’s has been regurgitating old designs to save time.
You’ll never look at ice cream the same again. Sorry.

Really….. This is news?
My exact reaction. Thanks.
In fairness, has anyone ever eaten chocolate soft-serve ice cream without thinking of poop?
2 girls, 1 cup.
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that, lol!
Yes.
Plot twist: Its not poop Its just a spare scoop of chocolate ice cream.
Conversely, I always think of soft serve ice cream when I’m eating poop …
It’s Mario’s clouds/bushes all over again.
Exactly what I was thinking
-insert overblown internet reaction-
Eat poop: A trillion flies can’t be wrong.
